I work for a Best Buy, I work tomarrow, I will post when my store gets it.
I am not surprised they didn't know PC games is not a "focus" for Best Buy. :roll:

Gamestop in Arlington TX also says Wednesday for PTW. Now when I call them and EB tomorrow, hopefully I'll have a choice of places to buy from.

I wonder if it will be released around the same time in Canada?
Canadians, do keep us all posted on when it shows up in your area... I'm in Toronto.

Other Canadians OTOH...
But then again, it sounds like parts of American distribution are a bit behind as well.

I believe this product needs to be tested with animals. That's why americans get it before it hits the europe.

Animals? Heeey!  Be careful with your words! You could hurt someone... And you must not call all Americans animals!  President Bush, on the other hand...

Has anyone actually gone into a store today and bought it? I'm stopping by GameStop over my lunch hour - if anyone has actually purchased it there, I'd like to hear about it!

Oh, it's just too long to wait! When the game is released in Norway, it's nearly Christmas, so then I just can't buy it right away(have to save something for the gift list! ).

My EB pre-order is still on hold
Shipping is to an US address, but paid with a European credit card. And the friend who is bringing it over is leaving the US on the 4th

On the FEDEX truck
I preordered mine from EB Games and selected overnight delivery....couldn't wait an extra day or anything....
Just checked my order status and it is currently on the Fedex truck to be delivered to me this morning. Being the narcacist that I am, I actually had it delivered to me at work so that I could get a look at it 4 hours before I get home.
I'm a sick, sick man.....
Pissing and moaning to myself for letting my wife talk me into plans for this evening so I don't even get to try it out tonight.....AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!

EB and Best Buy
I preordered mine through EB games...Yesterday when I checked my status it had my order on HOLD as well. I called to find out why and was told that it was because I was having it shipped to a different location that the billing address on the card. Seems that this is standard procedure for their Loss and Prevention Department. I was told it could take 1 to 3 business days to get that approved.
So I quickly tried to order it through best Buy.com, but all they had on their site was the GOTY edition...being released some time next month. I have already seen that in stores.
So I tried calling them to get some more info and was told the same thing. They truly are slow!
By the time I finished with Best Buy I was so frustrated that I was going to cancel my EB order and just go buy it at the local EB...fiugred I would get it sooner and save the shipping charges. Went back to web to cancel it and it had shipped already!

Well - the game is now available in a pirated version, that I'm testing right now. Now before you scream bloody murder, I do have a preorder waiting for the original game to arrive any day. I'm just too impatient with this game However, I do not condone pirating games and depriving developers of their honest money.
And I must say it looks wonderful so far, although I haven't spent much time yet. Looks like money well spent on the preorder
